Queens Of The Stone Age Debut New Song ‘Easy Street’ At Tour Opener In Chicago

When Queens of the Stone Age announced their Fall 2025 Catacombs Tour, the band shared a message explaining what to expect from the run of concerts.

“Comprised of all-new arrangements crafted specifically for the occasion, the Catacombs Tour will see QOTSA draw upon the spirit of those sublime subterranean renditions and infuse it into reimagined versions that promise to twist the volume knob in both directions,” the statement revealed. “Enhanced by assembled ensembles, the end result will be a precious few unique and intimate performances unlike any previous QOTSA tour.”

Frontman Josh Homme and his bandmates began the Catacombs Tour on Thursday night at the historic Chicago Theatre. The setlist followed through on the group’s promise of variety with rarities inserted across the concert. Queens Of The Stone Age also premiered a new song entitled “Easy Street.”

Opening night also included performances of rarities like “Mosquito Song,” “You Got a Killer Scene There, Man…,” “…Like Clockwork,” “Hideaway” and “Fortress.” QOTSA also covered “Spinning in Daffodils” by Homme’s other band, Them Crooked Vultures.

QOTSA continue the Catacombs Tour tonight in Detroit. Watch video footage captured last night in Chicago:
